Order a stillbirth certificate :Cross Stitch – Government, citizens and rights

Due to the sensitive nature of stillbirth registrations, only the mother or father of the child is able to apply for a certificate. The parent must be named on the birth certificate to do this. Should the parents be deceased, a brother or sister can apply if they can provide their parents’ dates of death.

Your certificate is sent within 15 days of receipt of your application.

To obtain an application form for a stillbirth certificate, you can either telephone or write to the General Register Office.

Please call +44 (0) 300 123 1837, Monday to Friday 8.00 am to 8.00 pm, Saturday 9.00 am to 4.00 pm.
